Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream of coconut – This sweet, thick coconut product (like Coco López) gives the drink its signature creamy texture. Avoid using unsweetened coconut cream or coconut milk.
- 4 ounces pineapple juice – Freshly squeezed is best, but canned 100% pineapple juice works well for a consistent flavor.
- 1 ½ ounces Bacardi Gold rum – Aged slightly for a smooth, caramel-like finish. You can substitute with white rum for a lighter taste.
- 1 ½ ounces coconut rum (Malibu) – Adds extra coconut flavor and sweetness, making the drink even more tropical.
- 2 cups crushed ice – Helps achieve the perfect frozen texture. If using cubed ice, pulse it in a blender first.

Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
In a high-speed blender, combine the cream of coconut, pineapple juice, Bacardi Gold rum, coconut rum, and crushed ice. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of pineapple juice. If too thin, add more ice and blend again.
Step 2: Taste and Adjust
Before serving, do a quick taste test. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a little more cream of coconut and blend again. Want a stronger kick? Add a splash of rum and mix for a few more seconds.
Step 3: Serve and Garnish
Pour the Piña Colada into chilled hurricane glasses or any tall glass. For an authentic tropical presentation, garnish with a pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, and a cocktail umbrella.
Step 4: Enjoy Immediately
Piña Coladas are best enjoyed fresh. If it starts melting, give it a quick blend again before serving.
FAQs
Can I make this without alcohol?
Yes! Replace the rum with extra pineapple juice or coconut water for a refreshing virgin Piña Colada.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Freeze the blended Piña Colada in an airtight container for up to one hour. Before serving, blend again to restore the smooth texture.
